917-919 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 917-919 Pacific Avenue is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Lisa Wong. The building consists of three units and has a mixed-use configuration including commercial space on the ground floor. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably a serious drainage problem in 2021 that involved a faulty light well drainage system affecting neighboring property, which required multiple notices of violation and was ultimately abated in August 2021.

There are also ongoing concerns about unauthorized construction, as evidenced by a 2018 violation regarding unpermitted partitions and access modifications to the ground floor and basement, for which the building underwent subsequent permitted work in 2019 to remove non-bearing partitions. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to infrastructure issues, including several street space permits issued in recent years (most recently in 2020), and historical permits for sidewalk repairs dating back to 1994. A notable plumbing incident occurred in May 2020 involving raw sewage discharge.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls regarding various issues, including graffiti (October 2023), waste management problems, and environmental health concerns, with the most pressing recent issue being graffiti reported in late 2023. Two commercial units were reportedly operating in 2019, and there have been multiple complaints and compliance actions related to waste management and general building maintenance over the years. The Electrical permit from 2005 for wall heaters was cancelled, though it remains unclear if this work was completed through other means.
